Hi! I’m Jack Smith, an editor and writer passionate about storytelling and creative collaboration. With a background in creative writing and theatre studies, I’ve honed my skills through various editorial roles and community-focused writing workshops. I thrive in environments that encourage openness and creativity.
Currently based in Ottawa and pursuing my Master’s in Creative Writing at Cambridge University, I enjoy working with collectives to develop compelling narratives, harmonize editorial content, and foster inclusive creative spaces. I’m always eager to learn and contribute to artistic communities wherever I go.
